> F that, if I paid for insurance I shouldn't have to pay anything out of pocket

That's not how insurance works, bud. For one, you likely don't pay for insurance, its heavily subsidized by your employer, and they will determine which policies to offer you. For two, you share the risk with everyone else who has a policy with your provider.

I could see an argument for insurance companies being legislated to force them to cover more previously uncovered services, as the ACA did.

> F that, if there is any out of pocket payments at all, I should be entitled to estimates even WITH insurance and they should be legally mandated to be within 5% of the actual cost.

Sure, you are welcome to contact your insurance BEFORE you obtain services and find out what they will cover. In fact, its incumbent upon you to do that, and not expect HCP's to do that for you.

I addressed your failure indeed. To quote, "And yet, they exist. That's the point. These sorts of groups all exist in one fashion or another." No one has denied they exist.

Wrong. Screeching is not limited to animals/animatronics [0].

They are qualitatively different as one is an auxiliary vessel.

Immaterial. This is not The Guardian/Observer, nor am I a journalist at those newspapers. That's three strikes, you're out! So cliché!

>Then I will go back and regress so far so as to be in the furthest horizon, beyond your view.

It's so close there too.

>Huxley was more prescient than Orewell

Debatable, but the prescience of this quote cannot be understated:

"The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone. To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior 'righteous indignation' — this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats."

>Orwell, who was a socialist and fought for the red cause in Spain.

Which makes this all the more hilarious. Truly Poe's Law in action.

After some more thought, I think the detour that is required before this gets all grand strategy is looking more in depth at the ratting strategy.

All the examples quickly settle on a static state, skipping the inertia of the dynamic state that precedes it. And it is in that dynamic state that the rats manage to get their gains.

There are many steps between "Tim decides not to use the purifier in his fish farm" and "So many people don't use their purifiers so that Tim doesn't have any gains anymore". That takes s long time, and after that it's something else. Because it's not the purifier that sets Tim appart, but his attitude.

I think this is a general trap, where the static state makes something look obvious one way, but the trick is in the dynamics of inertias, and the time it takes to reach the static state.

Btw, this happened just as I was replying to your comment. tl;dr Hamas accepted a ceasefire proposal and Israel started attacking Rafah:

Israel’s military is now launching targeted strikes in eastern Rafah, Reuters and AP reported citing a statement. Israel says it is striking Hamas targets in the region. But more than 1 million displaced Palestinian people have sought refuge in Rafah amid Israel’s attacks in Gaza, the Washington Post reported.

Hamas says it has accepted an Egyptian-Qatari ceasefire proposal to halt the seven-month war with Israel. It issued a statement on Monday saying its leader, Ismail Haniyeh, had delivered the news in a phone call with Qatar’s prime minister and Egypt’s intelligence minister.

An IDF spokesperson said Israel will continue to act in a “operational manner” in Gaza despite Hamas announcing that it accepted a Gaza ceasefire deal on Monday. Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said Israel is going to continue to act in an operational manner, saying earlier that Israel has a right to defend itself.

Israel does not want peace and there is nothing simplistic in that observation.
I dont think they law says every minority has a right or entitlement to a district. It simply allows the creation of majority-minority districts.

As you point out, which groups get to draw the arbitrary lines is a inherently political process. If there are 5 groups and 3 districts, there is no "right answer" for which groups get them.

Productivity is a totally irrelevant metric. It takes 2 people, 5 years to built a 50 foot sailboat. It takes 10 people, 4 months.

Which is most productive?

That depends on the price and the quality of course.

Never measure for quantity.

Always measure for quality in the environment you are competing in.

And since most professional work is about making money/use value, it would be a could start to measure how much money/use value people are contributing to. If people are not actively contributing to this they are not productive.
Surely one of the big use-cases for a VPN is that the network you're connected to is untrusted?

> We love complex, deep discussions.

Well, that certainly does look deeply complex, so I have no reason to think it wouldn't create deeply complex discussions.

Kidding aside, one thing I like about it is that it makes discussions start around specific snippets of a source text. That is to say, you begin a thread by selecting a piece of text. I am always very skeptical of top-level comments on HN that don't begin with a quote from the article being discussed—more often than not, I am suspicious that the person even read the text before commenting.

That doesn't address how you'd have conversations around anything except a block of text. Videos, pictures, games or applications, etc.

And they don't solve the toughest UX problem with this kind of pattern, which is how you treat overlapping excerpts: are they part of the same thread, or a new thread, and how do you define the boundary?
I actually remember using message IDs to reference other postings. Newsreaders had commands to jump to a certain message ID. You had to copy the message ID from the posting, but on Unix that was just a double-click, and a middle-click to paste, so quickly accomplished.

> where somehow housing people requires killing all but 10% of the population.

I never said that. I said that is the one of the small number of realistic scenarios where housing suddenly becomes abundant without consuming massive amount of resources which are to be acquired from somewhere and yet nobody is paying for them. This is a common fallacy which does not take into account economic scarcity - to make enough something for everybody, and deliver it at the point they need it to be consumed, takes certain resources, and the housing is one of the worst cases since - unlike food, for example - it's very hard to produce it where it'd be cheap to produce, and cheaply transport it to the place where it needs to be consumed. With grain or rice, for example, doing this is commonly feasible. With housing, not so much - we currently have no plausible technology that allows to do anything like that. Thus, "let's just make enough housing for everyone" is not a realistic proposal since there's no realistic way to do it in a way we need it done. If you know how to do it, you are welcome to enter the history of the humanity as a hero. Norman Borlaug did it, maybe you could do it too. If you think you can, don't waste time arguing with me - spend time saving the humanity.

No, the reason was constant attacks by Israel in multiple military operations against Gaza, what is allegedly known as "mowing the grass" in Gaza.

Wikipedia has an extensive timeline:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza%E2%80%93Israel_conflict#2...

And there is no reason to "go digging" and look for "stories". You can read the wikipedia article I quote above, about the US-backed Fatah coup and follow the sources, which are entirely public and mainstream. One of them is actual Vanity Fair.
When you say the UK, what you mean is a group of corrupt private companies that find it more convenient and cost friendly to dump raw sewage rather than correctly process it.

Wondering where the real problem lives I cant help but get back to the disconnect between education and employment. Isn't it that most curriculi have a bunch of borderline nonsense and a bunch of things you end up applying every day?

Companies pay taxes, those go towards education even if it is indirect by organizing life sufficiently to make training possible. What formula can be had by which companies may rate chunks of education or nudge it towards more useful knowledge? Do they even know what they need?

Oddly schools measure productivity all the time. It seems a hilarious puzzle.

No, the attacker just has to be on the network. When on the network the attacker can deploy various techniques to become the DHCP server. Since it's (relatively) easy to become a DHCP server on a network, it's considered a big deal when the DHCP server can trick you into doing something like in this case decloaking your VPN traffic.

The PoC section doesn't explain the issue. I think a one-line TL;DR similar to the summary above would be best, e.g. "A malicious DHCP server can use DHCP Option 121 to set routing rules, which can override the routing rule used by VPNs and cause traffic to be routed outside the VPN"

To understand the quality level of their current platforms: they actually manage to recommend the same stream you just watched as the next auto-play entry and even might jump directly into the credits again, giving you a 10 to 20 seconds loop in extreme cases.

While a two-stream recommendation loop is quite common in both systems, the loop above only happened twice for me so far. Still, it might just perfectly highlight the lack of passion and user focus plaguing their current platforms.

So, whatever they come up with in the new and maybe open one... ah, who am I kidding.

Skip down to the DHCP section?
An issue we've had when looking into some of these is that, they provide a layer of software abstraction we're not looking for. I don't want to use some providers bespoke library to wrap my model code; I just want to use NVIDIA Triton, either by providing an image or by providing a model repo. I only want the inference provider to handle the hardware.

I understand that's exactly what those provider _don't_ want, because it means they can't lock us in. But particularly when comparing an inference provider to GCP, where we already run everything in Triton on GKE, I don't want to rewrite my code just to see what their hardware layer is like.

Another complication is we often run multiple tightly-integrated models for a single application, where having them on the same GPU is critical. This is tricky or impossible in some inference-provider-frameworks.

There's too many options for running the latest LLM, and far fewer for running a bespoke set of fine-tuned models on GPUs.
Oh I know, that's exactly the part that I'm arguing against. Companies do not exist in a vacuum, the actions they choose to take directly affect the society they're a part of. Throwing your hands up in the air and saying "they're a company, why do you expect any better" is just burying yourself in apathy, and it plays right into these companies' hands -- $deity forbid voters might learn to grow a spine and vote against unbridled business interests!

This might work if your kid is a self-starter and really driven to improve himself/herself. Otherwise I highly recommend an extracurricular math program; there are many different ones depending on which area you are in. I know of Kumon and Mathnasium, there's probably bunch of other ones too.

They maintain their own curriculum, often somewhat in sync with school program, but ahead of it. They also help kids participate in various math competitions, including Math Kangaroo, AMC 8/10, etc.

Just make sure to carefully evaluate the program in advance, talk to the teachers and the parents. They are typically NOT cheap, but if you want your kids to get good at "maths" (R) it'll be worth it.
> Surrounding expressions that consume that type will see the error type and suppress any other type errors they might otherwise produce.

We added a slightly-cursed version of this to clang. The goal was: include more broken code in the AST instead of dropping it on the floor, without adding noisy error cascades.

The problem is, adding a special case to all "surrounding expressions that consume that type" is literally thousands of places. It's often unclear exactly what to do, because "consume" means so many things in C++ (think overload resolution and argument-dependent lookup) and because certain type errors are used in metaprogramming (thanks, SFINAE). So this would cost a lot of complexity, and it's too late to redesign clang around it.

But C++ already has a mechanism to suppress typechecking! Inside a template, most analysis of code that depends on a template parameter is deferred until instantiation. The implementation of this is hugely complicated and expensive to maintain, but that cost is sunk. So we piggy-backed on this mechanism: clang's error type is `<dependent type>`. The type of this expression depends on how the programmer fixes their error :-)

And that's the story of how C gained dependent types (https://godbolt.org/z/szGdeGhrr), because why should C++ have all the fun?

(This leaves out a bunch of nuance, of course the truth is always more complicated)
